Snowflake Method. How to Write an Explosive Scene?

Randy Ingermanson, a writer and writing instructor, developed the "Snowflake Method". The name of the method reflects its essence: just as a snowflake gradually forms from a simple structure into a complex pattern, this method offers writers a step-by-step approach... to building a work, starting from the simplest idea and gradually adding details. Ingermanson compares the beginning of working on a book to a simple "ice triangle," which, as it develops, transforms into a complex "hexagonal" structure, that is, a complete text. The essence of the method is to move from simple to complex, from a single phrase to an entire book. In this book, Ingermanson focuses on how to effectively work on a scene rather than a whole piece. He examines the structure of a scene, its varieties, and functions. By learning to write truly captivating explosive scenes, you will learn to create artistic works that leave no reader indifferent!
